1:54Now PlayingStanding alone at recess is heartbreaking. So this little girl fixed it, one bottle cap at a time.
FORT WAYNE, IN -- It all started with a drawing.
Third grader Sammie Vance drew a comic strip about loneliness and inclusion. She drew “buddy benches” for kids who are alone at recess.
“If somebody’s lonely or if they’re new to the school and they don’t have anybody to play with, they can sit on the bench,” the 9-year-old explained. “If other people see them on the bench, they’ll come up to them and ask them to play. And they can play together.”
Sammie made her comic strip a reality.
